I have projects that I'm dealing with different solutions, with different topologies. And when I need to deploy a solution, I create a topology for a client, so normally I use the software for,
Straightforward implementation, scalable, but performance could improve
What is our primary use case?
What needs improvement?
When using Cisco VXI in virtual environments there tends to be a lot of bugs with files you have to deploy across the virtual environment. You configure for hours, and then there is a bug that stops you, and you notice that you wasted hours.
There's always room for improvement with these virtual environments because you're not dealing with the actual equipment, you're dealing with a virtual version of it that you have to install in a virtual environment.
The performance of Cisco VXI could improve. It requires a lot of hardware and even if you install it on a server it is heavy on resources.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Cisco VXI for many years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the stability of Cisco VXI a four out of five.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the scalability of Cisco VXI a four out of five.
How are customer service and support?
I have not used technical support.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Cisco VXI is straightforward.
I rate the initial setup of Cisco VXI a four out of five.
What about the implementation team?
One person is enough for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The fees for Cisco VXI are paid annually if you want to use the virtual environment. It is similar to other brands.
I rate the price of Cisco VXI a one out of five.
It is an expensive solution when there are bugs. I'm always ready to give money for a complete solution where there are no bugs in it, but you will never find it.
What other advice do I have?
The solution has been doing a good job for us.
I rate Cisco VXI a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
